MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

I am pleased to present the annual report of the National Joint Committee of Senior Criminal Justice Officials (NJC) for the 2010−11 fiscal year. This report describes the main activities and achievements of the NJC and its regional committees (the Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairies and Pacific regions).

The NJC holds two national meetings per year, while the chairs of the regional committees hold approximately 30 meetings throughout the country’s five regions. These meetings address a number of topics, such as organized crime, gang management strategies, intimidation of justice officials, Aboriginal issues, high-risk offenders, child exploitation, victims’ rights and the sex offender registry. NJC regional committees regularly invite representatives from their respective communities to take part in these discussions.

We hold the national meeting in the spring in one of the five regions, while the fall meeting is usually held in so that more representatives from Public Safety can attend.

The first national NJC meeting in 2010−11 was held in Ottawa on November 4, 2010, during which we conducted an environmental scan of the various criminal justice organizations in order to establish a three-year strategic plan to guide our work in the years ahead.

The departmental response that day was one of encouragement and support. We dealt with topics such as:

¾ Ethnic diversity (new immigrants, cultural problems, understanding and accommodations); ¾ Victimization (aging population, relationship between our needs and expectations); ¾ Violent crime (urban violence, street gangs, etc.); ¾ White-collar crime (fraud, identity theft, social effects); ¾ Sexual exploitation of youth (Internet, human trafficking); and ¾ Other emerging crime

Summerside, Prince Edward Island, in the Atlantic region, was chosen as the location for our second meeting. We held the national meeting to coincide with the regional meeting, where we addressed and shared a range of projects to improve communication among NJC member organizations, such as a project initiated by the Halifax .

3

Thérèse Leblanc, Deputy Commissioner, Correctional Service of Canada, Atlantic Region, and Brian Chase, Board of Canada, also shared their vision and challenges.

The NJC’s success has always been a product of its members’ dedication and participation. I have had the pleasure and opportunity to work with members of both the NJC and its regional committee’s members who are, without question, exceptionally committed to making a valuable contribution to Canada’s criminal justice system.

Much work was accomplished on our new three-year strategic plan, and I am certain that the NJC will continue to play an instrumental role in the criminal justice system for years to come.

The current government has emphasized that public safety is central to its objectives. By focussing on crime prevention and by facilitating dialogue among criminal justice professionals with respect to statutes and law enforcement, the NJC will help the federal government fulfill its mandate. In the course of future meetings, we will certainly have the opportunity to discuss various issues related to public and community safety and build on the success of previous years. For example, we will be organizing a symposium in November 2011 on victims of crime, in partnership with Justice Canada and .

I also wish to thank Pierre Sangollo, who has passed on his determination and passion during his 21 years as NJC member and 12 years as National Chair.

And it is on this note that I end my first year as National Chair. Thank you for your commitment to finding innovative, balanced solutions to tackle all issues pertaining to the safety of Canadians.

The NJC, an effective, concerted tool for a safe Canada!

Lastly, I also wish to thank Public Safety Canada for its ongoing financial support since 1973.

Didier Deramond Chair National Joint Committee of Senior Criminal Justice Officials

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The National Joint Committee of Senior Criminal Justice Officials was established in 1973 under the joint auspices of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) and the National Parole Board (NPB).

The original purpose of the Committee was to improve communication, understanding and cooperation among police and officials. Its founding members were senior police officers representing the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, RCMP, and officials from the Parole Board of Canada. Later, the Committee expanded to include the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC), the Canadian Association of Crown Counsel (CACC) and representation from the First Nations Chiefs of Police Association.

NJC establishes and maintains efficient and effective mechanisms of communication and consultation between the RCMP, CSC, PBC, CACC, the First Nations Chiefs of Police Association, and other agencies which are part of the criminal justice system.

The NJC works in partnership with governments and all agencies and services in the provision of advice on any matter referred to the Committee by these governments, agencies and services.

Today, NJC is a unique coast-to-coast forum that brings together representatives from Public Safety Canada, the Department of Justice, CSC, provincial Crowns, police and the PBC. NJC is also the sole criminal justice forum in Canada that engages people who are active in the operational administration of criminal justice and represents governments, non-governmental organizations and other criminal justice players in discussions on the criminal justice system.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE REGIONAL MEETINGS

Atlantic Region Chair: Stephen N. McIntyre

I. Introduction

In late 2010 and January of 2011 meetings were held in Slemon Park, PEI and , NB in an attempt to revitalize the NJC Atlantic Region. Over the past few years the region had been somewhat inactive and it was recognized that NJC could play a valuable role in improving communications between all agencies involved in the Criminal Justice System. Edgar MacLeod, the Executive Director of the Atlantic Police Academy was contacted by myself as the current chair of the Atlantic Region and with Edgar’s past NJC involvement, was able to assist in bringing the group together again. Plans were struck to host the Semi-Annual National Meeting of NJC in Slemon Park, PEI in May 2011 and in addition specific Atlantic Region Meetings will be held in the fall of 2011.

II. Atlantic Region Membership List by name and title

• Brian Chase – Regional Director General, Atlantic Region Parole Board of Canada

• Therese LeBlanc – Regional Deputy Commissioner, Correctional Services Canada

• Detective Cst. Scott Bowers – Halifax Regional Police

III. Overview of Activities 2010/2011

As noted above, in an attempt to revitalize the Atlantic Region, an initial meeting was held at the Parole office in Moncton, NB and brought together policing representatives as well as representatives from Parole and Corrections to begin discussions on steps that should be taken in order to move forward. Halifax Regional Police and RCMP representatives attended the meeting from the Halifax Area and spoke on the successes they have achieved in providing meaningful reports that assist both Corrections and Parole in the decisions that are required involving the release of inmates. It was clearly understood that an

7

integral part of this process was to better inform the police community of the benefits of providing appropriate information to corrections and parole.

The timing of this attempt to revitalize the Atlantic Region came about just as plans were being made to organize the May 2011 Semi-Annual Conference for NJC. It was determined that there would be a great opportunity to assist by holding the meetings in Prince Edward Island. The conference was held May 5-6 in Slemon Park, PEI and gave those attending a better perspective of what was taking place in the Atlantic Region. At the same time, it provided the opportunity for Atlantic Representatives to become better informed as to the items of concern across the country.

Plans are under way to continue Atlantic Regional discussions leading up to the fall of 2011. Plans are under way to include a broader representation of policing representatives from not only New Brunswick, but other Atlantic Provinces. Both Corrections Canada and the Parole Board of expressed interest and are very engaged in seeing this committee become more active.

IV. Key Initiatives in the Atlantic Region

The Chair will work with the Atlantic Representatives of both Corrections Canada and the Parole Board, together with the police community in furthering discussions on items of mutual interest to all. The May 2011 meeting in Slemon Park, PEI highlighted issues such as the appropriate handling and management of prolific and violent offenders, assistance provided to victims as well as significant issues faced by all agencies in dealing with mental health challenges.

V. Regional Budget

To date, only a very small amount of money was expended in the Atlantic Regional with respect to the Moncton January 2011 initial organizing meeting and the annual budget for the region has been set at $9,000. It is anticipated that some portion of this will be used in order to carry out our fall 2011 regional meetings.

III. Overview of Activities 2010

In May, the Ontario Region hosted the national meeting where the focus was on the experience of victims and victim services with the Canadian criminal justice system. The meeting was considered so successful it convinced NJC to develop a national strategy. To advance the strategy it was agreed to hold a symposium in November of 2011. Accordingly, the Ontario Region devoted much of its attention to learning more about victim support. In November, it invited Ms Sue O’Sulivan, recently appointed federal Ombudsman for victims of crime, to share the mandate of her office and its priorities. The Committee also pledged to help the national level in developing the symposium on victims’ issues.

As well, the committee heard from Mr. Leibovich Ontario’s Deputy Director of the High Risk Offender Program about the National Flagging System and the High Risk Offender Court. This program is a cross-Canada initiative designed to track potentially dangerous offenders (DO) and offenders on long term supervision orders (LTO) to ensure that when they face new charges the bail hearing is properly informed and that when they are convicted of subsequent offences an appropriate sentence is imposed. And finally, when they are released at sentence expiry they are properly supervised.

In addition, the committee supported the reconstitution the High Risk Offender Committee a group of police, prosecutors, corrections and community members who explore ways to improve offender reintegration on the premise that successful reintegration will in reduced future victimization.

Finally, Zone 3 of the Ontario Region held its annual conference where it explored the problem of human smuggling. It featured Robert Lombardi a senior representative in the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Assistant Attaché Office in Toronto. Also presenting was Cpl. Nilu Singh of the RCMP Human Trafficking National Coordination Centre in Ottawa, a participant in the Federal Government's Interdepartmental Working Group on Trafficking in Persons. Discussing the municipal police perspective was Cst. Jim Zucchero a member of the of the Vice Unit whose duties include investigating and identifying victims of human trafficking. And finally, the conference heard from Ms Timea Eva Nagy, a Toronto sex slave survivor who with courage and perseverance is now an author, speaker, and social advocate who seeks to build public awareness and enact legislation to eliminate human trafficking.

IV. Key Initiatives in the Ontario Region

For 2011 the Ontario Region will focus on increasing its influence in Ontario by expanding its membership beyond the traditional criminal justice partners. It has invited representation from the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards. The committee also committed to support the national victim symposium scheduled for November 2011.

V. Regional Budget

Pacific Region Chairs: Cari Turi, Janice Armstrong

I. Introduction

In 2010, The Pacific Region National Joint Committee continued to grow and expand on past year successes. There continues to be an outstanding commitment from the criminal justice partners which is exemplified by the leadership of the executive committee and the significant engagement of the zone teams. A special thanks to past chair Doug LePard who blazed the path for Pacific Region NJC over the past two years. This region has seen a significant turnover of the executive committee and an increase in zone membership. Commitment and communication will continue to be key in the region’s success and as the new chair I can say, that by all accounts, we are up to the challenge! Thanks to all the membership for a great job in 2010 and for your continued support and efforts in 2011!
